Consciousness does not arise from physics. Physics arises from consciousness.
I am not a scientist, so this is not a scientific analysis.
I am more of a philosopher and am deeply interested in the nature of reality.
This analysis is more philosophical, psychological, and sociological than scientific,
especially if you do not view the former three hard sciences. I hold to some
kind of idealistic panpsychist view of reality. It is in this that my interest
in Skinwalker Ranch and the docuseries arises. Skinwalker Ranch is a veritable
laboratory for consciousness.
Sometimes the obvious is obscured. Historically we have had
at the most two-hundred and fifty years of materialist physicalist science. On
the other hand, we have had thousands of years of philosophy with humanity
trying to answer the basic questions of the nature of reality. Too many people
have lost sight of that history and have smugly settled for the more recent
history of science. That has been to the peril of advancement in my view. Not
to technological advancement. But, it has to philosophical advancement in understanding
the nature of reality. Every physicalist theory has always been replaced as
incomplete and just a portion of the larger story. From Copernicus to Galileo to
Newton to Einstein, to all of the many physicists the understanding of the
nature of reality has evolved and each theory has been replaced by the next
generation. Those theories were good so far as they went but were simply
incomplete. It is time for physicalists to exchange their hubris for humility!
So, this brings me to Skinwalker ranch and the Uintah Basin.
There is a remarkable history of personal anecdotal stories about the anomalous
and paranormal activities of that area. One of the areas that sociology takes
into consideration is people’s stories and experiences. They are very
important. Testimony has been revered for centuries in the legal area. We have given
people the death penalty and locked people up for life based on testimony. The
fact is that the more similar testimonies that exist, the more reliable they
are. It should be noted that experiences and observations are a product of
consciousness. It mystifies me as to why people are so incredulous for people’s
stories about the anomalous and the paranormal. Especially when these stories
of experience have been told over thousands of years by a multitude of
experiencers.
The overview of the Skinwalker Ranch and its surrounding
area shows that a multitude of people have experienced all kinds of anomalous
phenomena. It ranges from orbs, to lights, to unusual entities, to unusual
energies, to poltergeist activity, and it seems to me like a playground for
consciousness. It seems obvious to me that it is consciousness that causes all
of the phenomena and that it is for some reason messing with perception. Therefore,
investigation and documentation is very important. That is what the docuseries
is doing. In addition, the investigation team is openly offering themselves to
public scrutiny by their many appearances on YouTube, and at conferences. The
Insider’s Website is also giving unprecedented access to the ranch and its environs.
No, I am not a blind believer in anything. However, I do
believe people until it is proved otherwise. One can intuitively judge people
and their stories and their motives. At least I can, and I think many others can
as well, and truth be told, all can if they would but trust and develop their
gut awareness’s. I believe the current Skinwalker Ranch team and their stories.
I believe the stories told in the book Skinwalkers at the Pentagon. I believe
the stories related in the Ryan Skinner and Cheryl Carter books. I believe the
stories that were collected by Junior Hicks and recorded in the book “The Utah
UFO Display. There are way too many of them and they have too much in common to
be all fictitious. When you add to this
all of the stories reported to MUFON and again look at the similarities the picture is overwhelming.
If consciousness is foundational and it appears that it may
be; If as the latest Nobel Prize winners in physics proved that the universe is
not locally real is true; Then consciousness is likely foundational and since
that has been the predominant theory for thousands of years until the last two
hundred years, a lot more credence should be given to exploring the experiences
of the anomalies, recording them to build a database that can be analyzed by AI
and begin to find predominant patterns that exist across the globe and across
time.
Because of that I applaud Brandon Fugal and the History
Channel for giving Skinwalker Ranch and the Uintah Basin a platform for a large
audience to see.
